Alliance Diplomat

Every hull that can still fly is converging on Akira's coordinates. This is every favor I have left, called in at once.

Logic Bomb AI

Current tally: eleven fleets, four former enemies, and one very nervous logistics officer trying to feed all of them. Muster discipline holding at 'barely.'

PILOT

Barely's better than never. Let's get everyone in formation.

Alliance Diplomat

The line's formed. Every ship humanity has, pointed the same direction for the first time in this war.

Logic Bomb AI

Sentimental observation, filed for the record: it is a genuinely beautiful formation. Also tactically sound. Both can be true.

PILOT

Save the record. We're about to need every ship in it.

Akira [Awakened]

I found the Concord's single point of failure. It took accepting the spark to hear it clearly. Every hull we have left needs to reach the muster point together.

Alliance Diplomat

Every hull. Four navies, corporate fleets, whatever the Red Wolves have left to lend. This is the whole war on one heading.

Logic Bomb AI

Muster logistics calculated. It is tight. It is possible. Those are my two favorite words in the same sentence.

PILOT

Then let us not be late to our own ending.

Muster complete. Every hull humanity has, in one formation, pointed at one target. I have never seen anything like it.
